So there looks to be a fair amount of additions in the ARM tree, do those already have acks from Arnd/Olof/other folks? (I think I was only cc'ed on the first two patches). Daniel (cc'ed) has just started helping out here, and should be able to review and hopefully ack or pick up the timer related drivers/clocksource changes to feed to Thomas' tree. Not sure if he's got them in his mailbox so you might want to resend them and make sure he's CC'ed. If Arnd/Olof/whomever else from the arm side has acked things, Daniel probably could queue the arm changes too, but it might be better just to get Daniel's ack on the drivers/clocksource changes and then queue things via arm-soc? thanks -john > On 05/13, Stephen Boyd wrote: >> In light of Mark Rutland's recent work on divorcing the ARM architected >> timers from the ARM local timer API and introducing a generic arch hook for >> broadcast it seems that we should remove the local timer API entirely. >> Doing so will reduce the architecture dependencies of our timer drivers, >> reduce code in ARM core, and simplify timer drivers because they no longer >> go through an architecture layer that is essentially a hotplug notifier. >> >> Previous attempts have been made[1] unsuccessfully.
